Holiday Dishes That Hit

KiNiMi Kitchen’s Quick Side Dishes Perfect For Any Holiday

If you’re anything like me or my family, you’re still thinking through your holiday menu. Are we going traditional this year? Will we try something completely different? Is brunch an option…? And after going through a long list of maybe this, maybe that, I don’t care, and I don’t feel like cooking, you’re contemplating catered or store bought. But before you dish the home cooked meal and scour the market for caterer/restaurant recommendations, check out my latest feature because she’ll have you happily selecting quick side dishes that are perfect and can be prepared at home.

This month, I teamed up with Kirbee Miller, founder of KiNiMi Kitchen, to deliver recipes for quick side dishes that are sure to be a hit during the holidays. We focused on side dishes that are relatively easy to make; don’t take too much time; and are great for holiday parties, holiday meals, and any other time of the year. So, what’s on the menu? I’m glad you asked. We made sweet and smokey green bean bundles, herb-candied carrot ribbons, creamy garlic mashed potatoes, honey goat cheese pretzel rolls with a strawberry jalapeño glaze, and not your average cherry pie. Instead of reading about it, check out the video below or head over to the KiNiMi Kitchen youtube channel to watch the show featuring me, my sister Makeda, friend Kristalyn, and Kirbee whipping up quick side dishes in KiNiMi kitchen that are perfect for the holidays. Recipes are also included below. To find out what else Kirbee is cooking up, keep up with her on Instagram and YouTube @ kinimikitchen.
